Validation and moderation in diverse settings: final research report to the National Quality Council

The specific aims of this study were to undertake a series of case studies to provide qualitative insights into the implementation of validation and/or moderation processes being implemented (or intending to be implemented) within diverse [registered training organisation] RTO settings. In particular, the case studies were undertaken to: explore the contexts in which validation and/or moderation processes occur; document and compare assessment quality management processes and procedures currently being implemented; identify potential barriers and/or facilitators (e.g. structural, process and/or personal factors) that may impact on the design and maintenance of assessment quality management processes within diverse RTO settings; and identify further resources to be developed to support RTOs conducting validation and/or moderation activities within RTOs within diverse settings. The report describes the methodology and findings of the study.
